Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies

Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies has a cool, refreshing flavor with a soft, chewy texture that leaves you wanting more! It is a perfect cookie for St. Patrick’s Day with a Green Mint Icing and a burst of mint flavor with every bite. These moist cookies with a rich chocolate flavor are delicious without the Mint Icing making it versatile for any time of the year.

Mint Cookies

These cookies are similar to my Double Chocolate Mint Cookies where I provided different options to prepare them. I made my cookie dough on a Friday night then placed in the refrigerator. The first chance to make the cookies was Sunday afternoon. The cookie dough chilled nicely making it easy to roll one-inch cookie balls to place on the cookie sheets. They take 10-minutes to bake and with a double oven they were done in 20-minutes! It was fairly effortless with dividing the preparation and baking into two different days. Plus two dozen of the baked cookies were placed in the freezer for St. Patrick’s Day to get a head start on the celebrations. Refer to my Double Chocolate Mint Cookies for other prepare ahead tips.

Preparing the Cookie Dough

The cookie dough takes about 10-minutes to make – just take the Kerrygold Butter out of the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. If you are like me and always forget, then carefully microwave on a “butter soften” setting – watching closely since it tends to melt quickly! My recommendation for Kerrygold Butter is its rich color and excellent flavor. Add a generous amount of Mint Baking Chips to bring this cookie over the top in goodness! The aroma is unbelievable with the combination of chocolate and mint plus they are a beautiful cookie!

Serving Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies

We first enjoyed these yummy cookies without any icing. The appearance may reflect a crunchy cookie, but one bite and your teeth sink into the soft, chewy mint-filled cookie. It is hard to only have one cookie or even two! The next taste test include a Mint Icing drizzled over the cookie. It is a thin icing that should be added when ready to enjoy.
